<h1>Add or remove members</h1>

<p>
Using this screen you can invite people to a new or existing shared account.
You can also remove people from an existing account.
</p>
<h2>Invite new members</h2>

<p>
To invite people, choose the source of your invite, i.e. tutor group,
course or entire system (everybody) and follow any instructions given
at the bottom of the 'Choose person from :' section, then wait for the
drop down box to appear or a message informing you that no person has been
found that matches your requirements or that the number of people matching
your requirements is greater than 100 and therefore unable to be displayed.
</p>
<br />
<p>
If the drop down box appears you can select one or more people from the list
by following the instructions below the drop down box. Once you have selected
your people click <strong>Invite people </strong>(or equivalent wording) and
follow any further prompts.
</p>
<br />
<p>
If no drop down box appears and you recieve a message giving <strong> 'the number
of people returned  is'</strong> this means that too many people have been found
to be displayed. Under such circumstances you must further refine your search by
supplying more information. You can refine your search either by typing in a person's
details (if known) if you have chosen to search by tutor group or course, or if you
have chosen to search by entire system, but know that they are in your tutor group or
doing the same course as you you can select one of those options if provided.
</p>
<br />
<p>
You can always restart your search prior to inviting people to join by
following the procedure above to invite people. If you wish to cancel the
search without inviting anybody click <strong>Cancel</strong> (or equivalent wording)
which should return you to one of your earlier web pages.

<p><i>Note for keyboard users: once you have tabbed to the list and used the
arrow keys to find the relevant name, pressing Ctrl+Space selects or deselects

accounts list and they can no longer access it (even if they've bookmarked it).
